    I've seen Ashe getting a lot of smack for being a sem-reliable ADR and apparently Garen really can't tank if he can't even stun and just silence. Hecarim doesn't seem to be a popular top or jungle as I have never seen him in ranked games. So, what do you think is the least popular champion? Is this champion considered weak? Or do gamers just not know how to play them? Is popularity these days based on rework?

    Kind of outdated info there, buddy...
    Ashe just recently got reworked and is extremely popular, not sure what you're talking about.
    You're right about Garen, he's a counterpick in some circumstances but there's hardly any reason to pick him over other superior picks.
    Hecarim is really strong, and was really popular until recently. He's in a good place now: strong but not OP. Can still dominate games by himself from the toplane.

    I'd guess Yorick or Poppy are the least popular ones, since I haven't seen one of them in months/years.

    Yorick can be seen being played quite frequently though. To be honest, in my opinion, the least popular champion from league is Urgot. I mean, who still plays that thing? It doesn't suit any kind of role at all.

    It's funny that you mention Urgot because, yet again... Urgot has recently gained a lot of popularity. All the picks you named (Hecarim, Urgot, Ashe) have been highly contested picks in competitive this season.

    I personally haven't seen Yorick, so yeah... I play on EUW by the way.

    I haven't seen Yorick or Poppy in a long time. It's like they don't even exist in this game anymore but from what I've heard Yorick is getting reworked so we may see more of him in the future.

    Next champion up on the list is actually Poppy. After GP's visual and gameplay update, and MF's minor visual update, Poppy's getting the next one.
    Here's the source.

    Yeah Ashe is kind of OP right now and Garen is still pretty strong, the worst champs though right now are Tahm, Kassadin and Azir if you base it off of win rate alone. I also think Tahm is totally useless besides eating his own team.

    I miss my old Kat =/ Pentakills weren't even hard to get, resetting mass damage shunpos was where it was at! (though thats exactly why she got changed...) but I loved her. Even then she was still hard to play and needed a team support. Now she just seems.. less. Not worse.. just less.

    Based on what I've managed to gather as information, I think it'd be Nunu. You see him very rarely in games, and I honestly don't know why. He's probably got a weird kit that doesn't cater to everyone, but if you master him enough, you can even carry games in the posture of a support!

    I can't really say. There's obviously a champion that is least used by actual numbers, but I'm not sure who the least popular by player sentiment is.

    You keep saying ADR everywhere, you know they are called ADC's right? So yeah least popular champs now I would say is Yorick no one wants to play him or against him, he is just dumb and needs a rework.

    Eve still has to hold that ranking. I still see a lot of EVE hate, and everyone tries to reroll or switch out of her in Arams. So, basically, Eve.

    I think that Yorick is the least popular champion for many reasons. He is extremely boring to play because all you do is press all of your abilities and auto attack people. This is extremely boring and not rewarding in any way. Also he fills a very specific role because he does not do enough damage to carry and does not have enough health to be considered an actual tank.

    The least one I guess it might be Hecarim/Swain.. I've seen very few people using them now and I don't know about Swain.. he have a lot of potential.

    I think Yorick is least popular. He is pretty free so I don't know why he is barely played. I don't mind though because I'm yet win a yorick lane.

    I don't think there is a least popular champion whatsoever because people play what they buy or what they have available at the moment so it could be anything really, I have seen an inmense variety of champions so I wouldn't even be able to tell, but that is just my opinion.

    Yorick? Why would you say Yorick? Taric is forgotten, and I really don't understand why. He is fun to play and pretty strong if you handle him correctly. I get the jokes, but they should be a reason to actually PLAY the champion, not avoid him. Strange..
